Title: Small Caliber Sizing Dies
Post by: TreeburnerCT on May 26, 2020, 09:30:31 AM

For those shooting .22 and smaller slugs, especially from a choked barrel, where are you getting sizing dies?  I'd love to try shooting slugs from my .22 Flashpup but none of the usual manufacturers have sizing dies in 214 through 219.  I'm using the Lee Breech Lock Hand Press with Lee sizing dies for sizing my 357 casts so would like to find dies that would fit the breech lock system.

Try a Lee Precision custom sizing die after this virus thing is over. They have temporarily suspended making them and below is what they say.I bought a .216 sizing die recently & apparently ordered just a little before they suspended. I hope you can find another source if you're in a hurry. The option isn't even listed any longer.

Custom Services

April 20, 2020. Due to unprecedented order volume, we have suspended custom Full Length Sizing Die Sets, Quick Trim Dies, Factory Crimp Dies and Bullet Molds until we are able to meet the required volume of our standard products. We will post here when these services resume. We are not accepting any pre-orders at this time.

Don got it right! The NOE system allows you to try different sizes at only 9.95 bucks each once the holder is ordered. However, it is not necessary to order the Airgun versions. The normal sizers are the same, and list more sizes. Swede of NOE simply put some of them in AirGun to help guide new users.  ;)


they are well made and the cost is fantastic. to the point I order several under sized at once to allow honing up to the exact size I need for a given barrel.  8)
